MIDYEAR BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
Setting Our Direction for 2020 The Board of Directors Midyear Meeting was held in beautiful St. Kitts in the Caribbean. Known for its rainforested mountains and beaches of white, gray, and black sands, St. Kitts was the perfect place to get away from daily grind to set the direction for the association in 2020. This annual planning meeting is very important as Board members meet to discuss association financial matters, education resources, government affairs issues and other member programs. This is also a great opportunity for the Board to share key industry knowledge to ensure another successful year for our industry and all of our members. We thank our board members who were able to take time out of their busy schedules to meet. St. Kitts’ weather was warm, and the people were friendly and helpful - a perfect combination. A special thanks to all of our sponsors whose continued support makes the meeting possible.
